BFF Report - DarkSpore

I'm sure a bunch of you have played Spore at some point in the past, or at the very least, seen videos/previews of it. Well, that same company has thrown down their own DotA/Diablo clone... or did they?

A question: What's up with all the blackness and extra music?

For the rest, I actually might buy this. It looks like LoL etc (I've never played them, so /shrug) mixed with Starcraft. I think it looks pretty freaking sweet though, so I may take a look when it comes out.

Looks fun and interesting but I'm not going to tempt myself by playing it because there's already way too many great games coming out this year.

Sounds like somebody's mad they didn't get into the Beta.________________________________________________To those of you who are less close-minded, Darkspore acctually plays pretty damn well. It offers the customizability of spore, with all the aspects of a good Hack & Slash.

Any info on price? Or if they're going to have the DRM they did on the regular Spore? The DRM was enough to tip me into the "not buying" camp when added to the $50 price tag for Spore, even though it looked super cool.

Everything I've heard about it says it is crap; too shallow and very little variation. It is still beta, so maybe more content is coming and maybe Maxis will add more dynamic maps and improve the character/hero/level system, but judging from Spore, I'm skeptical. More like they're trying to trade on the popularity of the creature creator, and screw having any kind of meaningful (or fun) gameplay.

I played it for about an hour or three back when they had the weekend beta. Overall, I felt like it had potential. It felt pretty repetitive but I was also playing with heroes without much variety. It's possible the game gets more dynamic and fun with different heroes or at later levels.

Looks ok, but looks like it could be rather boring. Kind of like a Diablo type game. I'd rather get Torchlight 2 though :\"
